Original – Available Prints – Available

This painting is of two cute Maiko kitties, practicing a Maneki Neko or “lucky cat” dance pose amidst a flutter of cherry blossom petals. Like all curious kitties, their pet kittens are right in the middle of things. Kitties are wearing pink kimono with a modern pattern of roses, with a contrasting green obi with fan pattern. The background consists of hearts made up of traditional Japanese textile patterns.
